The Danish side and Tunisia will kick off their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign on Tuesday at the Education City Stadium. Denmark vs Tunisia will be an exciting game because the Danes are considered this year’s underdogs, capable of progressing beyond the group stages.
Denmark – The Danish side will head into their World Cup opener game in high spirits, having won four of their previous five opening games. The Danes performed admirably in their qualification campaign, winning all eight games without conceding a single goal. Kasper Hjulmand’s team also advanced to the UEFA Euro Cup 2020 semi-finals last year and will be looking to do the same in the World Cup.
Tunisia – Tunisia, on the other hand, is making their second consecutive World Cup appearance after qualifying for the tournament in 2018, ending an eight-year absence. However, their previous campaign did not last long as they were eliminated from the group stages after Tunisia finished third with only three points from three matches. So this year they will make sure that they do their very best to progress to the next round, even though the Carthage Eagles are the weaker side on paper.
